Elon Musk is a risky star draw at Rishi Sunak’s AI summit — what will the shindig actually achieve?
The Independent says Rishi Sunak will today bring together leaders of the tech world for a two-day summit to discuss the dangers and opportunities of artificial intelligence – a conversation the world urgently needs to have.
Ahead of its start, Number 10 announced the get-together will finish with a live-streamed chat between the prime minister and Elon Musk, a star signing, but one that is hardly risk free given the owner of X and Tesla’s famous incaution about what he sometimes chooses to say.
But the potential risk is apparently worth the reward for Mr Sunak, who had been searching for a big name to answer criticism that his AI Safety Summit will be a poorly-attended disappointment.
